Justin Fields traded for bag of chips, why couldn’t we get Gerber competition?

By the looks, he's cut and stays home for awhile......then a QB injury hits and he's called for a try-out only. 

I mean Im not a fan (just like fields, Howell, Pickett, etc) but he's got elite skills and I don't just say that. 2nd overall and just a awful big city fit. He's still young.

Plus if you look at the last 4 drafts and focus on QBs, my God it's a horror show!! Like 2 decent picks and 25 terrible ones....WHY would any team trade up with those odds...Just wait a year or two and send a late 6th and the 3rd overall pick in 2022 is yours.....lance, Pickett, fields, Wilson, etc etc etc. 

I think that's because of how overly simplified college offenses are now. 

You're essentially getting QBs that need an entire extra year of development even more so  over how they were done in the past. 

Could explain why we see mediocre QBs become serviceable backups by like year 5.

Just more evidence we are all in on Young and why I can never be excited about any moves we make as long as he is the QB.

May as well just not even have a backup QB since they refuse to even play them when the starter is out there stinking it up. 

Dalton could have won us a few games last year that were close that Young struggled in.

That would have been completely pointless

Trying to win is never pointless until you're out of the playoff run.

So now we pivot to not starting the first overall pick we traded for. The Huddle would have shititspants

There is no shame anymore in these debates.

It's not about not starting them. It's about pulling them when they're playing badly. 

If someone is making the right reads but can't hit the broad side of a barn then you put in the hot hand. Nothing wrong with trying to win the day and coaching afterwards. If it wrecks their confidence then they're weak in the first place.

Greg Hardy was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round (175th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft.

He was awesome til he’s legal crap sent him in a downward spiral!! Hope Fields lights it up for Steelers!! I think Caleb is over rated another Prescott!

And drafting them too. 

Drafting is at least a gamble that there is a chance to win.  It will always be a risk but trading for qbs who have had multiple seasons to show who they are in the nfl will pretty much never be a win.

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      By KSpan · Posted

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
